Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- For Coating:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Once chilled, scoop out a tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a mini marshmallow in the center.
- Wrap the dough around the marshmallow, rolling it into a ball.
- Roll the cookie ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
